Reply to "STANCE *** how does Your Pantera stand?"

...Back in Time, we use to See the Older Corvettes, 'Punch' the Accelerator. They were So Fast. The Unique thing that stood out, the Rear of the Car would do a 'Squat'! If anyone here has ever read the Book 'How to make Your Car Handle'. There is a Note mentioned in it..."When ever the (Driven) Rear of a Car, Squats, it does this by Compressing the Suspension Spring(s)...and in doing so, the Car is in Effect, Lifting the Rearend and Tires, Off the Ground...Loosing Traction!" ONE reason Vettes can very easily Break the tires Loose, as in a Demo 'Burn-Out', Also!! Loosing 'It' when Accelerating 'Hard' out of  'Road Course', Turn. It was once Believed, the 'Squat' would 'Deliver' More Torque to the Road, On Power. Because it 'Looked' as if the Car was 'Forcing' the Tires into the Ground. It proved just the Opposite!  The 'Power Dump', The Trick of having the Tail at a Angle LOWER than the Front, Proved a Cure for the Squatting and Traction Lose!! Instead of Squatting, the Car would 'Jump' Forward, from Greater Traction!

Just food for thought FWIW.
